Something about cream eyeshadow has always scared me off. I guess I felt it would look heavy and severe, like Bette Davis in “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?”
I was surprised when I tried out Laura Mercier’s “Metallic Creme Eye Color”. It was as sheer as any powder shadow I’ve ever worn, but stayed on my lids all day with the same intensity as when I first applied it. The Platinum shade is a shimmery neutral that would work for most complexions. It’s also got the added bonus that you can tote it around with you, and it will never break into a powdery mess in your bag.
